The wide variety of thermostatic bimetal types is specified mostly through DIN 1715 and/or applicable ASTM standards <xr id="tab:Partial Selection from the Wide Range of Available Thermo-Bimetals"/><!--(Table 5.23)-->. The different types have varying material compositions for the active and passive side of the materials. The mostly used alloys are iron-nickel and manganese-copper-nickel. Mainly used in circuit protection switches (i.e. circuit breakers) some thermo-bimetals include an intermediate layer of copper or nickel which allows to design parts with a closely controlled electrical resistance.
